Holy desks

Toronto councillor Michael Thompson paid $300 to have his office blessed.
The blessing of Thompson’s office took place on Dec. 7 — the day all new council members were inaugurated — and was captured on film.
The office blessing was paid to Tai Adeboboye, pastor of Wilmar Heights Baptist Church.
The gravy train keeps going. Michael Thompson tries to defend himself.
“We all need the extra help,” Thompson told the Sun before the ceremony.
The small but significant ceremony has been a tradition for the Scarborough councillor at the beginning for every new term since he was elected back in 2003.

Love the “Gravy Train” reference. Still also love how my hometown (Calgary) elected one of the most progressive mayors in Canada while Toronto did the exact opposite.
